<p>The UK Government has committed £427 million to eradicating the Ebola outbreak
in Sierra Leone, £216 million of which has been disbursed to support the response.
This package of support covers the costs of UK operations in the ongoing crisis response,
regional preparedness, and early recovery activities.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As
part of this response the UK has supported more than half of all the beds available
for Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, funded over 100 burial teams, trained 4,000 frontline
staff, provided three labs to test one third of all samples collected nationally and
delivered over one million PPE suits and 150 vehicles. It is clear that our strategy
is working and the numbers of cases have significantly reduced. This is real progress
and cause for cautious optimism that we can beat this outbreak.</p><p> </p>
